Hey bro, I have HID fogs on my car as well but the flick only lasts for a second or two on mine... believe there is some filter thing that could stop the problem... 
also i found out that not all brands of HID would work for the fogs...

, 1> HID transformer not power enough ( can turn on before engine start, but off after engine start, need to change transformer )
2> HID transformer voltage not stable enough ( can add filter to fix this issue )

There should be two issues ,
1> HID transformer not power enough ( can turn on before engine start, but off after engine start, need to change transformer )
2> HID transformer voltage not stable enough ( can add filter to fix this issue )

HKBIMMER sad that you missed our drive that night.
it was 1 of the beast for a long time with 2 cars over 300hp there and they are very nice.
we did not finish until about 2am that night.

hey dave,
nice run with you....lol
i think the road were just too twisty and lack of long straight for the 335 to take advantage.... On top of that, I was suffering quite a bit understeering issues in those tight turns.
Not sure if you saw it, but I almost lost it at one corner, the car went understeering under braking then I almost got it sideway when i applied 2/3 throttle trying not to let you close up the gap at one turn....fun but scary. I guess some suspension tuning is necessary...

Mike
